## What it is
A RealWorld-conformant example application built with Vue 3, Pinia, and Vue Router, demonstrating CRUD, authentication, routing, and pagination in a production-style codebase. It serves as a reference implementation and learning resource for developers discovering Vue, validated by the official RealWorld Playwright e2e suite.

## Use cases
- learn Vue 3 by studying a real-world app
- compare Vue against other RealWorld framework implementations
- see how to structure auth and CRUD in a Vue SPA
- reference example for Pinia and Vue Router patterns
- bootstrap a Medium-style frontend clone
- understand how to wire a frontend to a RealWorld-compliant backend API

## When to choose
- you are a beginner wanting a realistic Vue 3 codebase to study
- you need a reference implementation matching the RealWorld spec
- you want to compare Vue idioms against other frameworks' RealWorld apps
- you need a working demo frontend for any RealWorld backend

## When to avoid
- you need a production starter template or boilerplate for your own product
- you want a maintained Vue 2 codebase (use the frozen Vue 2 repo for reference only)
- you need a backend implementation of the RealWorld API
- you want a minimal starter rather than a full example application
